Observações sobre a filosofia da matemática de Ludwig Wittgenstein

Journal article | Zeitschriftenartikel

In 'The Oxford Handbook of Wittgenstein', Michael Potter's essay 'Wittgenstein on mathematics' offers not only an analysis on why Wittgenstein’s philosophy of mathematics is so controversial among philosophers and mathematicians but also justifies such controversy. For that purpose, Potter emphasizes that Wittgenstein’s discussions on math are unfinished. This article sheds light on some inconsistencies and contradictions pertaining Wittgenstein’s mathematic thoughts which, although reinforcing the decade-long criticism on the author, did not interest scholars as much as Wittgenstein’s comments on Kurt Gödel's incompleteness theorems and his dialogues with Alan Turing on the foundations of mathematics.
